_To Mr. K――――._
_London, May 13, 1758._
_My very dear Mr. K――――_,
I HOPE this will find you rejoicing in success given to dear Mr.
_A――――_’s labours. If he is with you, be pleased to desire him to
prepare for coming to _London_ immediately after _Whitsuntide_. He
and dear Mr. _D――――_ may be in town whilst I take my _Welch_ and
West-country range. I am unaccountably detained here; but I trust
for good. The word seems to run and be glorified more and more. I am
somewhat surprised that I hear nothing from Mr. _P――――_, or my dear
Mr. _S――――d_: but all is well. My hearty love to him and all his dear
relations. Can you fix no time for coming up? I do not hear of the
cyder being arrived. When shall we be called to drink the new wine of
the kingdom? LORD, give me patience to wait! I am quite puzzled. Mr.
_P―――― W――――_, without sending me a line, is come to _Bristol_, and
proposes staying there some time. The consequence of his coming, is
division and uneasiness already. I care not to go and fish in troubled
waters: neither can I advise you so to do: and yet I believe your
going would be a very great blessing. I expect a line from Mr. _D――――_
every hour, who, I suppose, is upon the road to _London_. If not set
out, defer it for a few days, and you shall hear, GOD willing, more
particularly from, my very dear man, in great haste, but greater love,
Yours, &c. &c. in our sympathizing JESUS,
_G. W._
